We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Bishopbriggs and across the G64 area. Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear.
What you might be seeing
- Leaks at bars or ridge
- Cappings lifted or rattling
- Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas
Common causes we find
Thermal movement
Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.
Finish damage
Scratches and chips expose bare metal; coastal air speeds up corrosion.
About Bishopbriggs and the G64 area
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.
